A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with consistently softened corners and blunt terminals. Strokes are broadly uniform, creating solid, compact silhouettes and strong color in text. Curves tend to “square off” into rounded corners rather than true circles, and counters are tight and rectangular, especially in letters like O, D, and P. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a compact rhythm that keeps words dense and punchy. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction with thick, stable shapes that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage thanks to its sturdy construction and clear, simplified shapes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a friendly edge: muscular, functional forms softened by rounded corners. It suggests modern utility and athletic signage, with a subtle retro-tech feel that keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, combining a strong, industrial voice with softened edges for approachability. Its simplified lowercase and robust figures aim for quick recognition and consistent texture in short bursts of text.
The design favors strong silhouettes over delicate internal detail, so small sizes may close up in tight counters, while larger sizes emphasize its distinctive squared-round geometry. The wide, stable stance and consistent rounding help maintain a cohesive look across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
